They fit perfectly, not at all like the V-Tech brand that I first had from Summit. They are thinner than the V-Techs and that's why they don't hit the bumper at the corners. They are also way thinner than the black ones, but I think we all agreed that the chrome would look stupid if it was wider.

That said, I think they are very tasteful and really add to the retro look without adding any bling. Here are several angles and a few with one on and one off. They are just laying in place, so they aren't on correctly and may look like they are crooked:

I thought that it was secured only with the tape and not bolted down.
Also don't I have to have the new 3rd brake light ready to install to put the ducktail on ??

I'm sure the 3M would hold it but do you really want to risk it?? FYI Mine is installed with just the screws. I recommend using only the screws because after time dirt and other crap will accumlate and it will be visible on the tape. Don't worry about not having the third brake light right away. I got mine 2 months later. You'll want to tint the windows before installing the third brakelight anyways.

I like the way it was done on that car with the GT in the stripes. I think they went well with what he did. They are not for me though.

I have seriously considered doing them but between the lack of funds and the driveway it ain't gonna happen. I some of the pony Tri-bars that have been done but I think I will keep my GT for now.

I would really love to see this or a set of covers that emulate the aluminum finned Cobra covers. I love them!

I personally don't think the Mustang needs much embellishment to make it look awesome. There are little things here and there that are OK but when the little things start to overpower the natural look of the car, then I'm out.

awesome, then I'm in. Should I bring a drill ? man that's hard to say.

Anyway thinking about it ghettobooty, I think, had the SSE ducktail at the Bumble Bee cruise and you could see that it was starting to come off the decklid that I don't like. So if I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do it right and bolt the thing down. Did you say that the template I needed is with the ducktail or I need to download it. Without that template it'll be difficult to nail down the places to drill (I can't believe I'm thinking/commited to drilling my deck lid).

I don't think I have ever read this thread until today. Lots of good info.

Welcome aboard. Like Bill said it's pretty fast paced here, miss a day or sometime an hour and you'll be a couple pages behind.
